A quarter century
Could never have your beauty.
Therefore, I am forced to believe
You lie about your age.
You, my dear, are timeless,
Your beauty could never be surpassed.
Roman structures,
Towers, aquaducts,
Irish cabins,
Creeks, and cottages
Could never have your charm.
You were a classic Greek
Before the Greek were classic.
